SARAH TRIPP: Radio Writing 2013CAMDEN ARTS CENTRE
Sarah Tripp’s 24 Stops is the first in a series of performances for radio broadcast commissioned by Camden Arts Centre in collaboration with UCLH Arts and City Beats Hospital Radio. Tripp’s work centres on different approaches to narrative and storytelling; working across film, performance and printed words, her practice is rooted in observation and experience. For this project Tripp has produced a work comprising twenty four chimes — short audio segments of percussive sound and spoken word — to be broadcast hourly. These chimes mark the passing of the day, acting both as temporal markers and a meditation on the perceived character of a given hour. The text below was commissioned from artist Katrina Palmer in response to the first live performance of 24 Stops at Camden Arts Centre, Sunday 23 June 2013.
